A New Company

To celebrate its centenary in the year 2010, the brand revived the Giulietta. The Alfa Romeo Style Centre designed the new Giulietta, a five-door hatchback with an unmistakable Alfa Romeo look, capable of expressing both agility and a high degree of comfort on everyday roads. Using sophisticated suspension solutions, dual-pinion active steering, and state-ofthe-art manufacturing technologies, the Giulietta achieved excellent levels of on-board comfort, dynamic features and safety (both active and passive).

4C and 4C Spider (2016)

4C’s all aluminum 1,750 Turbo Engine with direct-injection.

In 2015 the highly anticipated 4C mid-engine coupe made its debut, replete with a hand-built carbon fiber/ aluminum monocoque structure, a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission and a 1.75-liter turbo 4-cylinder with 237 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. Weighing roughly 2,400 pounds (1,089 kg), the 4C was capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in just over 4.0 seconds. A year later, Alfa Romeo introduced the 4C Spider, which delivered the same exhilarating performance as the coupe while adding only 22 pounds of curb weight.

Stelvio and Giulia (2017)

The return of the Giulia in 2016 and the introduction of the Stelvio in 2017 capped off the decade in style. The Giulia, a world-class high-performance sport sedan featuring a standard 2.0-liter 280-hp turbo engine and, more notably, a Quadrifoglio version with a Ferrari-derived 2.9-liter 505-hp twin-turbo V6, won both the 2018 Motor Trend Car of the Year award as well as a spot on the Car and Driver 2018 10Best Cars list. Riding on the same wheelbase and offering the same powertrains, the Stelvio, named after the famous Stelvio Pass driving road in Italy, followed in the Giulia’s footsteps, winning multiple awards and establishing itself as the benchmark among high-performance crossover SUVs.

In 2018, and in partnership with the Sauber F1 Team, Alfa Romeo returned to Formula 1 racing after more than 30 years away from the Sport.
